A bullet hole found in a bedroom door and DNA recovered from the barrel of a firearm were examined in court on Monday as the double murder trial of former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon continued in Sydney.
Lamarre-Condon, 31, is accused of fatally shooting Jesse Baird and Luke Davies with his police service weapon at Baird's home in Paddington on 19 February 2024.
During the latest hearing, the defence cross-examined a witness over postmortem examinations carried out on both victims, as the court continued to assess forensic evidence related to the case.
The trial is ongoing, with further hearings expected as both prosecution and defence continue to present their evidence.
